Since I began beach combing for sea glass, I’ve discovered there really are 40 shades of green. This heavily frosted shard is a real beauty. It is a very rich, deep green, a little more vibrant than your average green beer bottle. I have photographed it in different lights because seaglass does change spectacularly depending on the light.

The waves of the Irish Sea have done a mighty job of frosting and rounding the shard so it must be very old. I wrapped the forest green nugget with silver plated copper wire and hung it on a thick rubber chord necklace. It closes with a lobster clasp, which latches onto an extender chain so you can adjust the length.

When wire wrapping beach glass I approach it much the same way as cooking. I don’t often follow the ‘recipe’ or likewise, standard patterns or designs. Whether making a meal or pendant, I let instinct take over.

Being 100% Irish, there is often a Celtic reference found in my wire-wrapping. The design I ended up with here, however, reminds me more of satellites around a planet so I named it ‘Ocean Moon.’
